Railways on top despite Pandey's career-best figures

Railways, who resumed on their overnight score of 381 for four against
Madhya Pradesh on day two, lost their last six wickets for the
addition of just 115 runs.

Right-arm medium-pacer Sanjay Pandey, was the wrecker-in-chief,
returning career-best figures of 8-132. Tejinder Pal Singh, the
Railways top-scorer with a career-best 186, was his first scalp on a
day that saw Pandey claim five wickets.

Openers Devendrasingh Bundela and Chandra Prakash Sahu, by putting on
90, ensured that Madhya Pradesh made a sound start but three quick
wickets including the all-important one of Amay Khurasiya meant that
Railways were well on their way towards securing a healthy firstinnings lead.
